*BUILD LOG* 'CDJ 2000'-style DIY Traktor controller Posted on: 14.10.2010 by Arcelia Siebeneck Just in the design stages at the moment but I'm pretty excited by this controller concept... believe it's pretty unique and is a good compromise between a performance 'midi-fighter-esque' controller and a more traditional CDJ/mixer combo. See what you believe:The screen is a 7" USB screen by Samsung (model U70) and is the most expensive part (about | |
| Lilliana Perris 15.10.2010 | Awesome project!!! Wow...this is ambitious!!! On a level with Anthony More and his 3 channel VCI.....about. |
| Irwin Ney 15.10.2010 | Another suggestion Can you fit Deck C waveform on the screen when Deck A is active? there is enough space for that? Would be nice to see both waveforms... If Deck A is active your screen, you can show all controlls from Deck A and only the waveform from Deck C, if Deck C is active, it would be the inverse... . . . |
| Irwin Ney 15.10.2010 | Really like your design! You solved the auto-gain issue with those gain encoders but what about the pitch fader? When you hit sync you will have the same problem as with using gain knobs instead of encoders. Soft takeover helps but it's a pain, and for pitch fader you can't have value jumps, it will ruin your mix. Have you believeed about using a long touchstrip for pitch faders? You could pitch fader your track by rolling down your finger some times. Search some videos of SCS.3d pitch fader and you will understand what I'm suggesting. Another option will be using a motorized fader, but I believe that is more expensive then a touch strip and maybe one more mechanic thing to break. And what about encoders for FX parameters? Are you using them, right? |

| Williemae Trau 14.10.2010 | badazz... what kind of encoders do you plan on using? |
| Cammy Clegg 14.10.2010 | Nice dude!!!!!!! This is a badass design. How much has it cost so far for it? Also can u maybe document it with pics as the project progresses? |
| Dana Ordinario 14.10.2010 | Very ambitious and can't wait to see where this goes if anything maybe some of the big companies will see this and try to integrate some of it into there own offerings. I find that when you start adding large LCD displays the price of the gear sky rockets which is a shame but I believe it's less about the actual price of LCDs and more about only the top of the line gear have large LCD displays. |
| Ciara Cuttill 14.10.2010 | is there going to be a way to browse the library ??? |
| Carroll Guglielmetti 14.10.2010 | I'm really interested in this! From what I gather, no touch sensitive jog wheel? Why is that? Also I'm not sure the mixer section should be a part of a deck controller..but i can totally see having two of these and being set. I love the idea of using traktor without having to have the laptop out..this could really help restore the audience/dj interaction. |
| Margo Emperador 14.10.2010 | Very Nice..... |
| Carline Whichard 14.10.2010 | Very ambitious project ....good luck...cant wait to see a prototype. |
| Leeanna Ayla 14.10.2010 | Nice, gonna watch this one! |
